Hi all, I am trying to use a powershell script to create a lot of MECM packages using folder names. Script is below:
When I run the script, I keep getting: Get-ChildItem : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘Directory’. If I use a literal path, it tells the path does not exist. I did some digging, and all I find is that it has something to do with the provider because I am not using the correct one. If that is the case, what is the correct provider? Oddly, every AI or chat GPT result I get for a script sample all return the same example using the Get-ChildItem -Directory. Has anyone done this, where they use folder names as the names for the MECM packages, and if yes, how?
Code:
# Define paths and groups
$SourcePath = "\\TKUS001INVP003\Driver_Packages$\WIM_Packages\Lenovo"
$SiteCode = "TK1"
$DPGroup = "All Software Distribution Points"
# Import Module
Import-Module "$($env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH)\..\ConfigurationManager.psd1"
Set-Location "$($SiteCode):"
# Get folders, create packages, and distribute
Get-ChildItem -Path $SourcePath -Directory | ForEach-Object {
$Package = New-CMPackage -Name $_.Name -Path "$($SourcePath)\$($_.Name)" -Description "Imported via Script"
# Distribute the content
Start-CMContentDistribution -PackageName $Package.Name -DistributionPointGroupName $DPGroup
}When I run the script, I keep getting: Get-ChildItem : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘Directory’. If I use a literal path, it tells the path does not exist. I did some digging, and all I find is that it has something to do with the provider because I am not using the correct one. If that is the case, what is the correct provider?
